Koup
Luxembourgish
editEtymology
editBelongs to the group of words for rounded objects with k-/h- + rounded vowel + labial. Perhaps a variant of Kopp (“hill”), from northern Middle High German kuppe, but the words of this group are so varied that a precise origin is hard to ascertain. Compare also Kapp (“head”), Hauf (“bonnet”), German Haufen (“heap”), Dutch kuip (“tub”), and more distantly Czech kupa (“heap”).
